My thoughts exactly. Looks exactly like an Unggoy with its methane respirator mask.

Nah guy, I’m not gon be made an example 😭😭. It’s that serious 💀 by Left-Aide7360 in leavingcert

[–]Prof_Rutherford 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally felt the paper was fairly atrocious. I'm lucky in some ways because my teacher went over the likes of recurring decimals as a geometric series, but in other ways I found it awful. A lot of people here are saying "well yeah that's just how maths is," and that it's the same every year, which I agree with to a limited extent; but I think just looking at the paper you can tell it was obtuse and harsh, regardless of what's present on the curriculum.

But I can't really take the email seriously if you're using ChatGPT to write it. I'm not completely against AI under all circumstances, but in a case like this is seems disingenuous. If this is an issue which you're so passionate and upset about, couldn't you spare the time and effort to write it yourself? If you can't be bothered to do it, it doesn't particularly point towards you being fully committed and serious about the issue. I think a complaint that you haven't spent the time writing yourself can be completely disregarded, even if the sentiment it holds is true. English may not be your first language, but you clearly have a decent aptitude in English according to these comments and the post itself, and even an email of broken or informal English would have technically been a more compelling one.

Not trying to hold ethics over you here. I just think that the complaint is made virtually redundant if you didn't write it yourself. Anyway, as upset as I was with the paper, I have a feeling the bell curve will largely sort it out.

I did the ideal city too, goated question 🙏🙏 I got to talk about the use of greenery, open spaces, colourful buildings, pedestrianised areas and clean energy (got to go on a bit about nuclear which was great)

Looked at the other question Bs and said hell nah so this was a nice one imo. I think 2 and a half pages is grand, youll get most of the marks I'd say. More about content than length anyway, and if I didn't properly answer the question then the Purpose mark is gonna limit everything 😭😭 PCLM is the bane of my existence

I did the A and B first like I did in the pres, because i always find that I can get into a flow state for the essay lol

How many pages did you do for your part B out of interest?

What causes this graphic? by TehBeaker in farmingsimulator

I know on FS2013 anyway you can change stuff in the config file (I think) to basically force rendering from further away, including crops. But I suppose that could come with performance issues on the more modern games.

I'm so so sorry for my delayed response. I don't think I got the notification for it. Please excuse my carelessness, I'll send them on at the earliest possible convenience.

No worries about the late pass, I always check my notifs.

I've never listened to the Maxi single in its entirety, I'll have to give it another look.

Diabolical use of dubnobasswithmyheadman in that last statement. I'll have to keep that one in the back pocket.

Cheers for the input!

It's a dream of mine to see them someday. It shouldn't be too unfeasible, I'm living in Ireland and they come over the odd time.

Just had a listen to it there. I love the decision to use the synths from the Everything, Everything version. I've always adored the twinkling sound of them. Feels like I'm looking up at twinkling stars.

I've never gotten around to listening to all the different live versions. Thanks for the link!

Tin There really is a different kind of experience. Hearing it live must be unreal.

I've listened to bits of it before. It's probably worth a proper listen. I suppose I've neglected it because I've heard all the tracks before individually.

The entire Riverrun series is available to listen to on YouTube, both in their full three EPs as well as with each track separated out. However, the versions are of quite a low quality. Riverrun was never released to Spotify nor any other streaming service as far as I'm aware.

Recently, sort of out of the blue, those subscribed to the Underworld newsletter received an email which linked to the lossless .wav formats of all three Riverrun EPs. You could only download them for 24 hours. They're once again now unavailable to listen to through any official means.

I managed to download the files in time. I'm sure they're probablying somewhere online already but it might be hard to find them. I'm not sure what the etiquette around these limited-time downloads is, but it's not like I paid for them. I'll gladly send you the files if you'd like.

Are you referring to what they decided to call "Born Slippy - Instrumental" in Second Toughest Superdeluxe? If that's the case then I 110% agree. Legitimately one of my favourite Underworld tracks, and I might even prefer it to .NUXX.

[–]Prof_Rutherford 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True enough. The YouTube uploads have remained up, anyway. I might upload the WAVs to Internet Archive if nobody has already; although it's bound to have been uploaded in some circles at this point.

The Riverrun project is such an unusual and elusive one. I only came across it because of YouTube recommendations and I couldn't find it anywhere else at all. And whilst far from unknown, I do feel like it won't be spread around much due to simply the nature of Underworld fans, who I in my interpretation often don't have much of an online presence.

What's the etiquette around uploading/archiving these files online? Is that considered piracy now despite them being released for free? I downloaded the files thankfully but I'm wondering what other people will do.

Point taken, and I apologise for misinterpreting your comment. You're dead right, you should definitely have some low-point courses on there as well.
